Starting a Business

If you're considering starting a business or are just in the early stages, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Everyone's got advice for you, some of it's helpful, some of it's annoying. There are plenty of "experts" out there telling you exactly what you need to be successful. Many of them have great advice about what it means to be successful. Get a helping hand figuring out what will work best for you or what you really need to do. 30/60/90 Day Build a Business program:If you're ready to get started on making the business of your dreams a reality and just want a little guidance to know the steps to take, these programs are for you. Depending on the amount of time you have to invest in starting your business and how fast you want to get it off the ground, will determine which program is best for you. Each program contains essentially the same information, just broken into a more or less intense schedule for you to work with. Each day for the length of your program you'll get an email with that day's assignment. When you've completed all the assignments, you should have a fully completed business ready for (or already with) customers!

The program is $50, regardless of which schedule you choose. Purchase the course here, or fill out the form at the bottom of the page with questions you may have before starting the program.

Local Classes:I also offer local classes with tips and advice for building a business as well as lots of Q&A time. Contact me through the form at the bottom of the page if you're interested in hosting or attending a class. Individual Coaching: For individuals who want personalized assistance, I am available to personally coach you, either over the phone or in person (throughout Bergen and Passaic County in New Jersey), through the steps and work with you to successfully start your business. After our initial chat, you'll fill out a questionnaire, purchase a power coaching session for $50, and we'll have an hour-long conversation that will set you up for success. Additional coaching after the power session is available, starting at $100. Contact me through the form below or at grow.with.laura@gmail.com if you're interested in a power session.

Building a Business

If you've got a business that has gotten tired, plateaued or is losing money, it's time to get someone in to give you an evaluation or help you figure out where to go from here.

I offer individual coaching, as well as a business evaluation and follow-up assistance.

Individual Coaching:If you're a solo-preneur or want a fresh perspective on what you can do to be a better leader and head of your company, I can work with you individually. After our initial conversation through email or on the phone, I'll send you a questionnaire to be completed before our 1 hour power session.After that I offer monthly plans of email coaching, as well as weekly/bi-weekly in-person/phone coaching (with email coaching included) starting at $100.

Business Assessment:You've probably seen the shows on TV like Tabitha's Salon Takeover, Hotel Impossible, Bar Rescue, and Restaurant: Impossible. In these shows a consultant comes in and not only exposes the bad but outlines a plan for dramatic improvement.

Bring Laura into your business for an assessment of the good, the bad and the could-be-improved. After our initial conversation, I'll send you a questionnaire to be completed before my first visit. I'll visit your business on two separate occasions, about a week apart, for up to 5 hours each time. Then I'll write up an evaluation with suggestions for improvement. Finally we'll have an hour-long conversation about the review. Investment: $500 for businesses with 15-50 employees.

If you have more or fewer employees, fees, and time spent at the location will be adjusted accordingly.

If you're interested in an assessment, contact me using the form below or email me at grow.with.laura@gmail.com to learn more.

*if you're not in the northern New Jersey area (Ridgewood, West Milford, Wayne, Oakland, Sparta, Mahwah, Morristown, the Oranges, Paramus) and don't want to pay to bring me to your location, I also offer an online consultation. It's not as in-depth, but it will give you some insights into some areas you can improve in your business. A fully completed and functioning website in English is required. Contact me through the form below or email me (grow.with.laura@gmail.com) after payment is made to set up and receive your review.
